Locusts may ground aerial displays

There are fears swarming locusts may prevent Temora's flying weekend from going ahead.

A dense locust swarm has descended on the district, making safe flying impossible.

Museum spokeswoman Lisa Love says while ground exhibits will be open, people will need to check tomorrow morning whether or not aerial displays will be held.

"They're swarming at the airfield and it just looks like a snowstorm. They're just all over the ground, they're all over the bitumen and concrete areas, they're all over the buildings and they're just flying through the air quite thick," she said.

Department of Primary Industries expert David Croft says the medium density locust swarms around Temora and Ardlethan can cover areas up to 200 hectares.

He says they could pose a risk to green crops in the region.

"Our biggest threat is that they'll come together, find a bit of green feed, mate, lay and we'll have another cycle starting," he said.
